For Military Veterans
We know our military veterans are 2x as likely to be diagnosed with ALS. ALS NM works closely with Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Reach out today to learn more about how the VA supports veterans living with ALS.
ALS and Veterans
Studies have shown that U.S. Veterans are about 1.5 times more likely to get ALS compared to people who were never in the service.
For that reason, ALS became a 100% service-connected condition for any Veteran with ALS who served longer than 90 days, received an honorable discharge, and was later diagnosed with ALS.
Paralyzed Veterans of America
PVA was founded by a band of service members who came home from World War II with spinal cord injuries. These wounded heroes made a decision not just to live, but to live with dignity as contributors to society.
Since 1946, Paralyzed Veterans of America has been on a mission to change lives and build brighter futures for our seriously injured heroes. We’ve had a single-minded mission—to empower our brave men and women to regain what they fought for: their freedom and independence.
